Fraternities, sororities raise $35,000 for Camp Titan

Founded in 1969, the Camp Titan program is staffed by 50 Cal State Fullerton students who donate their time as mentors to 150 at-risk, underprivileged children from Orange County who attend a weeklong summer camp in the San Bernardino Mountains. The donations raised and given by Cal State Fullerton sororities and fraternities during Greek Week allow children to attend camp for free.

"This takes a really big weight off of our shoulders so we can train counselors and focus on the kids as opposed to the fundraising aspects," camp co-director Ray Edmondson said.

During Greek Week, held in mid-March, 12 Cal State Fullerton chapters of the Interfraternity and Panhellenic Greek systems were paired up to compete in activities that included a Camp Titan Awareness Walk, recycling and coin wars, field games, spirit competitions, can castle contests, song and dance performances and an awards ceremony.

Each team of a sorority and fraternity were expected to incorporate this year's theme, Disneyland, into costumes worn during each day of activities. Six teams were assigned to a different "land" at Disneyland such as Tomorrowland or Fantasyland.
